Headington, United Kingdom Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We are looking for a well-motivated, conscientious, and friendly person who is willing to learn and play a key role in improving the lives of the service users we work with.

As an Administrative Assistant, you'll be in contact with our service users, relatives, other members of the public and professionals from partner organisations to ensure a smooth running of the Highfield Unit. You will have an important role in helping the service to run efficiently in a busy and sometimes demanding environment.

The Highfield Unit is based at the Warneford Hospital in Headington, Oxford. This is a modern purpose-built resource centre for adolescent people with mental illness, offering both community and outpatient facilities.

This role will involve front line tasks, including day to day running of the reception area, dealing with telephone enquiries, booking rooms, meetings and greeting patient and visitors, data entry, typing (audio and copy), and using the in-house IT systems.

These tasks are key to supporting our clinical teams and so you'll be working in a busy, but rewarding role.

Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust provides physical, mental health and social care for people of all ages across Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Swindon, Wiltshire, Bath and North East Somerset.

Our services are delivered at community bases, hospitals, clinics and people’s homes, delivering care as close to home as possible

Our vision is that no matter who you are or where you are, you will tell us that you receive: “Outstanding care delivered by an outstanding team”

**Our values are**: “Caring, safe and excellent”

At Oxford Health we offer a wide range of benefits designed to support your career and wellbeing. These include:

- Excellent opportunities for career progression
- Access to tailored individual and Trust wide learning and development
- 27 days annual leave, plus bank holidays, rising to 33 days with continuous service
- NHS Discount across a wide range of shops, restaurants and retailers
- Competitive pension scheme
- Lease car scheme
- Cycle to work scheme
- Employee Assistance Programme
- Mental Health First Aiders
- Staff accommodation (please note waiting lists may apply)
- Staff networking and support groups hosted by our Equality, Diversity & Inclusion team

We'll need you to be computer literate and demonstrate good working knowledge of Microsoft Office, good typing speeds, excellent organisational and communication skills. Previous office/reception experience would be desirable, however it's more important to us that you're able to deliver excellent customer service.
